Our Personalised Care Plans

Personalised care planning aims to put people on an equal footing with health and social care professionals. A care planning consultation should feel like the meeting of two experts - the patient/client and their clinical carer.

It focuses on a discussion with individual patients about goals to support their health and wellbeing, such as returning to work, stopping smoking, improving diet or living independently. The discussion should also focus on supporting them to self-care, and finding out what impacts on their health and wellbeing, such as poor housing and emotional and psychological needs.

Choice should be stimulated through personalised care planning, which embraces three key components. These are people having:

1.

Power to shape their pathway through services and keep control over their lives

2.

Preferences to choose how, when and what treatments or other services they receive

3.

Personalised services organised around their lifestyles
